What time is it in changxia?

The long summer time is different every year. In the long summer of 2023, May 6th 14: 00, 18: 34.

Long summer is the seventh of the 24 solar terms, representing the beginning of summer. According to the traditional Chinese calendar in China, solar terms are determined according to the time when the sun arrives at the yellow meridian, and the time when the sun arrives at the yellow meridian is constantly changing throughout the day. Therefore, the annual long summer time is not exactly the same, which may appear on May 5 or May 6, but the specific time, minutes and seconds are different.

Long summer is one of the most important solar terms in Chinese traditional solar terms, which indicates the arrival of summer and the thriving growth of everything. In this solar term, people will hold traditional celebrations such as "Long Summer Festival", and at the same time, they should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and keep water supply to cope with the coming hot summer weather.

Climate change in long summer.

One of the climatic characteristics of the long summer solar terms is the obvious increase of showers and thunderstorms. The increase and intensity of precipitation are caused by the confrontation between cold and warm air and the convective weather caused by the rise of warm and humid air near the ground. Long summer is an important solar term, marking the peak season for the growth of all things. According to the classification standard of modern climatology (climate average temperature) in China, the daily average temperature rises steadily to above 22℃, starting in summer.

Before the arrival of the long summer solar term, the scope of spring in China reached its peak. Except Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, south-central Jiangxi, southern Hunan and Fujian, it was summer, and most other areas were still spring. The arrival of long summer symbolizes the beginning of summer, and the long dormant summer begins to push north and reach North China.
